Comment on What is the Israel thing going on?

  There’s another explanation: there is a religiously zealous segment of israeli society that is the main driver of many illegal settlements. Additionally the state of Israel sometimes wields its institutional force against palestinians, especially in east Jerusalem. Citing ‘demographic concerns’ as a reason for giving building permits to israelis and not to palestinians should probably not happen in a non ethno state.

    All that is true, but in the greater picture of the Middle East ~conflict~ crisis it’s a mere drop in the water.
